✰ The best practical gifts for singers (they can actually use!)

Finding a great useful gift that a singer will love isn't easy, but can be very rewarding if you get it right!  Thankfully, you don't have to stress because we've got some great singer essentials ideas that just about any singer could (if not should) be using!

❏ Portable Vocal Dampener for Vocal Warmups (like a handheld practice room!)

This one's at the top of this list because it just might help save YOUR sanity, as the gift giver!  

Singers gotta sing. And warm up their vocals, and practice -- loudly ... sometimes to the dismay of those around them! ? 

This light-weight, handheld vocal dampener is perfect for allowing a singer to warm up their voice as loudly as they want without driving everyone nearby crazy (well, at least not AS crazy)!  It's like a portable practice room!  

❏ "Keep Calm and Sing On" Sports Water Bottle with Carabiner

Every singer needs plenty of water to stay hydrated.  This practical and uplifting water bottle with a carabiner keychain will help keep them hydrated and encouraged throughout the day!

❏ Pitch Pipe

Every singer should have a pitch pipe!  Whether they need to find their starting note for a performance, practice ear training, or check their own pitch, it's just an essential.  If a singer does not play some sort of instrument, a pitch pipe is even more helpful, if not necessary, for practicing in the correct key, etc.

?Psst... this would make a great stocking stuffer!

❏ The Contemporary Singer: Elements of Vocal Technique (Berklee Guide)

No matter what genre of music, eery singer needs to learn about proper vocal technique so as not to damage their voice, and well... to sing good! 😉 

The Contemporary Singer is an excellent book that can of help even to more advanced singers.  Though "contemporary" is in the title, it's just as useful for classical singers, as it's great at illustrating singer anatomy, breathing techniques and more.  It was used by my vocal teacher at Berklee, and personally helped me a lot!

❏ Vocal Workouts for the Contemporary Singer (Berklee Press)

A great companion to the Contemporary Singer (above), these vocal workouts will help a singer warm up and expand their vocal range and ability.

❏ Throat Coat Tea

My personal favorite tea for soothing a sore throat, or just warming up the throat while warming up the voice!  I like this version with Lemon and Echinacea best.

? Psst... there's also this version for kids!
